Ok, what gives?
2nd Democrat in Senate to oppose. At least 11 in House also.
Any Democrat...whether in the Senate or in the House that supports “Traitors” Obama, Kerry, Biden, Clinton, etc. in their quest to insure that Iran becomes a nuclear power, is also a “Turncoat” to the American people and nation!!! Yep...them Democrat types are headed for political suicide with Hillary Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama and their votes to help destroy the American Republic!!! they ar either smoking reefer or insane!!! Or, maybe they just hate America, like Obama does!!!
My cynical guess is that Schumer and Menendez have both done nose counts in the Senate and found that the opponents of the Iran deal are going to be a few votes short. They are looking for political cover and have tipped Obama in advance they’re going to vote with against the treaty, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Zero must not need his vote either. There’s probably more than enough RINOs to push this abomination through.
The fix is in, ladies and gentlemen. The fix is in.
I think Manchin makes 3 but it will not be enough

The sky is falling.
When Chuck Schumer announced he would not support the Iran Treaty, Obama erupted in fury, not only against Chuck Schumer himself, but also against Jewish organizations, Israel, etc., and words like ‘’traitor’’ and ‘’dual-citizenship’’ were part of his angry tirades.
So what will happen now that Senator Menendez has also come out against the treaty? Will he get the same treatment as Chuck Schumer even though he’s not Jewish? Or will there be silence because, in Obama’s world, only Jews arouse fury and get blamed for whatever is not to their liking?
As for the theory that Senators Schumer and Menendez oppose the treaty because they are dependent on Jewish campaign donations, that doesn’t make sense. ALL Democratic Senators are dependent on Jewish contributions, especially the other Jewish Senators — eight of them besides Chuck Schumer — who are supporting the treaty.
Good. Bob sure is full of himself, though. Devotion to principle? Devotion to survival is perfectly acceptable and more plausible. This deal threatens everyone.
Mendenz is basically turning tail, because the Odumbass Administration strived to indict him because he has failed to endorse other Odumbass pet programs. So Odumbass will up the ante and purchase the votes from the opposition with the billions of dollars of missing taxpayer money. Suddenly Mendenz and schmer have luxuries tha only the Odumbo’s can fathom. The Odumbass Administration is no better than a Third World dictatorship!
